The Vatican should stop speaking in tongues and call out the massacres in the Congo, Nigeria, Sudan and Syria for what they are.

Building on Bruna Frascolla’s recent superlative article on Cromwell’s ghost, we look at three articles, which were recently published together in the Catholic Herald, to see how that creep’s spirit still subverts us all. Frascolla’s basic thesis was that Cromwell assembled a coalition of disparate sociopaths to demonise Spain and its Catholic religion, which held the Iberian peninsula together. Although Cromwell was an out and out criminal, he did not invent the Hispanophobic Black Legend and nor was he the first or last to propound it. The fact is that Spain was subjected to centuries of unrelenting black propaganda and, as Frascolla points out, Russia, to which we shall shortly turn, is today the object of similarly unhinged ire by the same broadly similar cast of characters. Just as Imperial Spain was civilisation’s main bulwark against barbarians of Cromwell’s stripe, so also will we argue that Russia plays a similar role to Spain against the same dark forces inching ever east wards across Europe today.
Moving on to the Catholic Herald, we see the Vatican asking VPOTUS for financial help, as well as some pretend move to kiss and make up with the Orthodox Church, and a further massacre of Catholics in Nigeria by the CIA’s usual ISIS suspects. Although I have no problem with the Vatican asking the Yanks for a dig out, the problem is such help comes with considerable strings attached, one of which is to turn a blind eye to the massacres of Catholics in Nigeria, the Congo and Syria, to which we will shortly come, after we go through this sordid Russian business.
Greater Russia, for our purposes, has been Orthodox since, one could say, the Great Schism of 1054 and, as far as I am concerned, it should stay that way and the Cromwellians and assorted rat bags, who infested it since the collapse of the Soviet Union should, at a very minimum, be arrested and deported feet first. In my book, if Russians, Estonians, Ukrainians, Moldovans or Serbs want to be Christians, then they should first adhere to the church of their forebears which, in all those cases, means churches with strong ties to the Moscow Patriarchate, which is currently in schism with the “orthodox” Orthodox Church, and whose travails never seem to figure in the periodicals of the Latin (Roman Catholic) Church, which has a thing or two to answer to the Orthodox Church for regarding the splintering of the former Yugoslavia.
The current state of affairs is the churches to which the majority of Moldovans, Estonians and Ukrainians belong are being severely persecuted because they stand where their forebears always stood and there is not as much as a murmur of protest from the Vatican or its media outlets. Their Orthodox bishops are forbidden to travel on pilgrimage to Zion and, again, mum’s the word. Germany, which infamously lumbered us with the Third Reich, forbids the political leaders of Serbia, Slovakia and Hungary to travel to Moscow to mark the 1945 defeat of Germany by Russia and again we are told to keep shtum.
Meanwhile, MI6’s Guardian Cromellians are throwing a collective tantrum because horny men can no longer pretend to be women and VRT, Belgium’s public broadcaster, marks the Easter Holy Week by blaspheming Mary in the profanest and most puerile of manners because it helps to undermine European society and, like the Guardian Cromwellites, they lack the imagination to do anything better or more uplifting. As long as Belgium and similar degenerate EU states can do no better than the Guardian’s naughty schoolgirls, no one should pay them the slightest heed.
But that leaves true Catholics, like those getting it in the neck in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Syria in a quandary. If the best the European Union can do is mock the Virgin Mary and the best the Vatican can do is encourage politically expedient schisms within the Orthodox Church, to whom can the persecuted turn?
In this rambling piece, former Syrian member of Parliament and leading Melkite, Maria Saadeh, sees salvation in Vladimir Putin and the armies of the Russian Federation. All well and good but, because today’s Russian Army is not the army of Imperial Spain, they cannot be everywhere. The primary function of today’s Russian Armed Forces, together with Russia’s political, religious and civil powers, is to hold the line, to keep Russia together and to defend not only Russia, but the cultural fabric of those countries like Serbia, Slovakia, Moldova, Estonia and Ukraine to which it has strong historical and cultural ties. Those charged with governing Russia have tough military, political and cultural choices to make and no one should envy them those particular poisoned chalices.
But all of these issues are not Russia’s problems alone. The Vatican should stop speaking in tongues and call out the massacres in the Congo, Nigeria, Sudan and Syria for what they are, even if that means the Cromwellites of the United States, Belgium and Germany defund them. They should stop collaborating in the dismemberment of the Orthodox Church and instead stand with the Orthodox faithful of Estonia, Ukraine, Moldova and everywhere else where the European Union’s oh so tolerant Cromellian psychopaths are on the offensive. If pomp and circumstance matter, then Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Slovakia’s Robert Fico, Romania’s Călin Georgescu and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán should be accorded the same sort of welcome to the Vatican that VPOTUS Vance got. If the Vatican is to be a house of ill repute, then it should be open to all, and not just to America, von der Leyen and their equally loathsome flunkeys.
This is not to call for self-martyrdom or even self-flagellation but to be able to distinguish Cromwell’s Roundheads from those of us, who are not sociopathic and who believe that the people of Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Nigeria, Syria, Sudan, Estonia and the Congo should, like folk everywhere, live within the parameters of their own myths, beliefs and traditions. Although nothing more than a pig’s ignorant grunt can be expected from the likes of von der Leyen or Kallas, Popes should be made of sterner stuff and should not only talk the talk with those under NATO’s kosh in Nigeria, the Congo, Sudan, Syria and Eastern Europe, but walk the walk of martyrdom with them as well.
